A Way to Garden: the year in pictures

Photo credit: Margaret Roach

Margaret Roach is the author of A Way to Garden, one of the most popular - and informative - garden blogs out there.

And one of the loveliest.

Margaret has published a photo gallery of 2010 in her upstate New York garden. It was a year of extremes, she writes: too much snow followed by a too early spring, a too dry summer and a too wet fall.

Margaret gave up a high-pressured life in New York, where she worked for Martha Stewart's enterprises, and retreated to her garden. She has written about that journey in a just-published: "And I Shall Have Some Peace There."

Take a tour of Margaret's garden as it displayed itself during 2010. It is worth your time.
